Tag Archives: Year end list

As 2016 comes to a close it’s time for my annual Top Five list. Full disclosure, I didn’t get a chance to see everything (sorry Moonlight), but I saw a lot, even some I wished I hadn’t (lookin’ at you The Lobster). This is always a tough list to make, but these five films were the ones that entertained me the most in 2016. Yes Manchester By the Sea is great, but it sort of made me want to slit my wrists. Thank heavens La La Land was around to pick up the pieces. In ranking order, my Top Five Film picks for 2016:

1. La La Land

True story- I left the theater and my cheeks ached from smiling so much. This musical about struggling entertainers feels both timeless and fresh, and reminds me of why I love movies. Simply stunning!

2. Arrival

This intelligent sci-fi film isn’t about aliens, but rather about communication. I’ll never look at language the same way.
